If it means getting new seats and a bit of investment in the stadium, I couldn't care less what colour they were.

But do you think it's going to end there?

The stadium absolutely needs work but much like the Aussies hiding behind Covid excuses regards the World Cup, this guy isn’t doing this to make the Stadium look smarter. He’s listening to the empty heads at Latics who make the most noise. The same type of lads who boo players taking the knee.

Simply no need for it in my book.

Just means lots of blue and white empty seats instead of lots of blue and red empty seats

heard exactly the same pal

He won’t last at latics once he realised he can’t make any money from them.

can't the stadium next door be made into a reet tasty RL stadium with a decent seating capacity through building extensions etc?

Goes round every few years that one.

Who cares. It's his stadium and can do what he likes with it. The Latics fans want us out and we want out and i hope and pray somewhere down the line we can get our own stadia. It's an absolute empty, soulless cr@phole. The shatics fans seem to think we are in uproar when in truth the majority could not care less. I think they are probably disappointed that there isn't a massive outcry. Let the Latics fans have their gloat. They are on borrowed time, Nobody can make money out of a little tin pot club and make huge losses every single year. The new owner (messiah) is already spending above his means, giving out contracts they can't afford which will come out of his own pocket. He will be the same as the rest, when he realises he cant get them to the premier league he will be off and Latics will finally be on their way back to where they belong and nobody will be there to help this time. Tic tick Latics, tick tock.

Utter bile from someone who doesn’t care. Threads like this just need to be locked and moved on from quickly.

Which bit is bile?

Care? Me?

No i don't, it's a seat colour in a stadium that isn't ours. Why would anybody care? There are real problems happening out there you know.

The rant you ended up going on. I don’t care what colour the seats are but rather than wishing ill and spitting venom everywhere it didn’t need the rest of your rant. If anything, there’s only one club closer to going under at the minute and it’s not Latics.

End of the day it is only seat colours but where will it stop. I wonder what would happen or would it have an effect if the rugby fans didn’t use the concourse on match days for food and drink to hit the pockets of the stadium company. Maybe close the car park at robin park (while covid restrictions are in place in the actual arena) and use it similar to what hull kr did the other day with food and drinks so the revenue goes directly to the club.

On the Reebok rumour I have been told that rads was actually seen in the Bolton ground, could be nothing but he has been there recently for something

Reebok is closer for me

me too... could go on my bike

and has loads around it be great except its not in wigan

Don't be so frigging wet. Take a peek on their website if you want to see venom being spat. They are a horrible little set of fans.

Reebok would suit me - much easier to get to from Yorkshire!

I see plenty. Just wind your neck in.

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy.

All this for what - seat colours? Seriously? I couldn’t care any less what the colour of the plastic is that I sit my backside on. I couldn’t care less if a mural of Andy Liddell appeared in the tunnel. It’s a stadium that isn’t owned by us and ultimately the parent company of WA can do whichever it pleases aesthetically with the stadium. At the end of the day it’s our home ground, I’ll go and watch us wherever we play. If some aesthetic changes bothers you that much then you’re beyond help IMO.

The debate about having a stadium again has been rumbling on since we moved in. It isn’t going to happen anytime soon. The stadium itself is too big for both teams save for the rare sell out - I can’t recall when that was for either side.

This whole vile mantra towards WA from some WW fans and vice versa is as embarrassing as it is ridiculous. We’re 2 different clubs in 2 completely different sports. I don’t know why a minority section from each club continues to carry a chip on their shoulder. We should actively celebrate and congratulate both teams success. I’m no football fan, in truth I never have been so WA mean nothing to me but that doesn’t mean I won’t be glad if they get promoted, sad if they get relegated.

Wigan is truly a backwards town sometimes and this faux rivalry is the epitome of it.

Did anyone else have to Google who Andy Liddell is?

I think the point is mate that it isn’t about seat colours is it? It’s a flexing of the guys power to increase his popularity with the exact Latics fans who he really should ignore. They are the minority who hate Wigan rugby but can’t tell you why, boo players taking the knee but can’t tell you why and so on. I can’t stand them and I can’t stand the Wigan rugby fans who throw the same bile the other way. All this will do is increase that from both sides. I don’t see how it does anything this move but cause further division.

I can't believe that anyone would think the aesthetics don't matter? If they didn't, then why are Latics changing the seats and why do clubs spend millions on getting them right at other clubs.

They play a huge part in creating an atmosphere and making home feel like home.

On top of that, it's a slap in the face for us imo.

Not a pop at you, but personally I'm sick of all this "get over it" attitude from our fans when it comes to stuff like this.

His methodology may be questionable for sure but his reasoning certainly isn’t. He’s right in what he’s saying, the fans of both clubs should (and still could) be less vile towards each other and support the other. Support doesn’t mean go out and buy the kit, get a season ticket and all that jazz. It just means be glad a team representing the best town in the country has been successful.

I, like you, can’t stand fans from either side that throw that bike around. I find it extremely embarassing continuing a rivalry that isn’t even a rivalry. I can’t help but feel if both sides had their own stadiums this would subside considerably.

I get what your saying but the colour of a seat doesn’t change whether I’m going or not. The seats, other than white, have never been in our colours anyway. So why would that change bother anyone now?

I’m frustrated more than anything that a faux rivalry and a faux hatred is continuing and has been fuelled by something as simple as a seat colour. When I go to the match the colour of the plastic my backside is going to warm is the last thing on my mind. So much so that it’s never crossed my mind in 20years or so of going to the DW to watch us. I don’t see why I should, or anyone should, now be bothered about it?

Fans from both sides with chips on their shoulders continue bashing out the same old boring lines, and for what? What does it gain? A few likes on Twitter? Beyond pathetic IMO.

As I said, my opinion is that we should unite behind the banner of Wigan. The greatest town in the UK whether that be represented in football, RL, RU or tiddlywinks.
